Howdy All!

I am exhausted. Been getting a lot done around the house...although my ceiling fans are not installed yet. You ask a man...(sigh).

Anyway, got my new bed. Put on the fresh linens. It looks better however it's in major need of some paint and some rugs. I think if I just got those two done, it would looks scads better. But I must admit I'm procrastinating. It's such a pain to move all the furniture again just to paint. Ugh!

Other than that got NO work done done this weekend. Not by choice. It seems that every single thing I tried to accomplish this weekend was Fubared by a co-worker. He drives me nuts. Freakin...fuckin..nuts.

I was able to get a comic strip done though. I felt better about that. I was finally able to work a friend into the strip. Been meaning to do it for awhile. There are others, but I'm not going to introduce everyone at once.

By the way, I picked up the lastest Pearls Before Swine collection. If you're a fan of PBS or just comics in general, this would be a good book to get. Part of what I love about the author is he'll makes comments about the strips themselves. Oddly enough, it's comforting to know he goes through pretty much the same process I do to get my strips done. Some things we have in common:

- Reworking a strip over and over and over... until we feel it's finally good. As Stephen says, this could take half and hour to several.
- Using people we know as characters in the strip. He doesn't do it as much as me, but hey, if you were in his strip you could bet money you'd meet your demise by panel three.
- He started on the web. He's had to rework a few to be acceptable in the paper.

Anyway, you can find it here:
